What Customers Are Saying

The Kobalt 80V cordless chainsaw is a powerful and convenient tool for homeowner and light-duty use. It is praised for its performance, handling medium to large branches and trees with ease, while being lightweight and easy to use. Users appreciate the lack of fumes, pull-starting, and maintenance compared to gas-powered saws. The battery life is generally good, though it may drain more quickly when cutting thicker or harder wood. Some users have experienced issues with the chain coming off, which can be mitigated by proper chain tension adjustment and using a cross-cut chain.

I bought this chainsaw about two years ago to augment the use of my 18 inch Stihl chainsaw. The Stihl hasn't been used since as the Kobalt is hands down the best product I have ever bought to maintain the 14 acres I live on. It's effortless to start and has no exhaust, I love it.

Great chainsaw better than gas powered ones.

I've had the Kobalt 80V for two years, and it still works great. It just gave me a solid one hour non stop cutting performance on an oak tree. Two thumbs up.

I purchase a chainsaw online as a new product. It took several days to get delivered to the store, which was okay. I expected to get a new product because I paid full price. Instead, I got an open box with parts missing and damaged. The saw was there and appeared to be unused. The wrench was missing, and the other paperwork was in the box but used and damaged. That would have been fine if I had bought an open box and saved 10 or 15%. But, I purchased a new product, not on sale. Instead, Lowes ...

DANGEROUS! SHOULD NOT BE SOLD!

Would Not Recommend

DO NOT PURCHASE! This chainsaw is a safety hazard and should be removed from the shelves. I’ve been a big fan of the Kobalt line. I have the 80v blower and added the hedge trimmer and string trimmer. I wanted to add the chain saw for trimming jobs that could be done more efficiently with this tool instead of the hedge trimmer. THE CHAIN CAME OFF AFTER LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES OF USE REPEATEDLY. The tensioning mechanism is sloppy and cumersome….and onviously does NOT work. After replacing the chain...

Works great, uses 80v battery from my 80v trim mower. Battery lasts longer than I do. Perfect for 70 yr. old man and no jerking a pull rope.
